On 19 December 2020, the Norwegian parliament passed the national budget for 2021. The budget includes a proposal of 15% withholding tax on interest, royalties, and rent payments for certain physical assets paid by companies operating in Norway to related companies in low-tax countries. The withholding tax is meant to counteract the relocation of profits and will apply from 1 July 2021.
